    Dual brake conversion on a GS550

    Hey guys, im doing a bit of a cafe racer build and I wanna upgrade the brakes and do a dual front disk conversion. I found a GS650 being parted out and I want to pick up the front forks and both the front calipers. Is this all I would need for the swap? How do I bolt the new rotor to the other side of the wheel, right now it has this plastic cover on the side with no rotor.

    Pull that plastic cover off, there are bolt holes there already. Both forks, both rotors, both calipers, to do it right get some new brake lines, the braided steel ones are the best.

    The bonus is the 650 forks work better than the ones that came on the 550.

    I could use a few 650 parts....
